The one big thing in your favor is the Mice doesn't see very well. They follow their nose and they love to run along side a solid wall getting from point A to to point B...
Close up all of the entry points first. Then you can deal with the other repellent ways available to you. I have a zip up bag full of cotton balls that have been soaked in PURE PEPPERMINT OIL. Has to be the pure stuff. You can order from AMAZON and I think our WEGMENS Store here locally is the only store that carries 'PURE' PEPPERMINT OIL... Keep in mind this only discourages Mice and loses it repellent power over time... Kills their smell process for a while. I use this to stuff in places where I see activity after I have stopped up all of the other entry sources I could find... I used alot of spray-in expanding foam products from LOWES to fill in small cracks etcs... Anywhere where the mice can get good smells going for them...
By the way Peppermint smells alot better than using the Moth Balls or Toilet Cakes we all use to use years past...
Just some of my comments for what ever it might be worth...
